Soulmates, pawns of prophecy and inheritors of an ancient conflict, Richard and Kahlan's destinies have been bound together since their first encounter in
Wizard's First Rule. But now Richard lies on a funeral bier - suspended between the worlds of life and death and Kahlan faces her greatest challenge. She must fight for Richard's very existence, and Richard, trapped in the underworld, must fight to keep the world of life from ending.

Good performance. weak ending.

Lame ending. Tied off way to quickly and with no real resolution to the whole Richard Kahlan Shota twist.

Now it has become terrifyingly clear that the Chimes have the potential to bring down all that Richard and Kahlan have worked to protect, and even the power of the Sword of Truth may not be enough to stem the tide of their unleashed magical force. But if the Chimes cannot be stopped, first they will ravage Richard and Kahlan, then all of D'Hara, and then the entire world.

I love the series. Have read the books. Hate that every book seems to be a different narrator. One book Zed is depicted as some feeble decrepit old man. Another book Khalan's name is unrecognizable (Karlin?) and on and on it goes. Makes starting the next book a chore of suffering through accent and pronunciation changes.

When she fell asleep, the world was doomed. When she awoke, it was dead. In the wake of a fever that decimated the earth's population - killing women and children and making childbirth deadly for the mother and infant - the midwife must pick her way through the bones of the world she once knew to find her place in this dangerous new one. Gone are the pillars of civilization. All that remains is power - and the strong who possess it.

First female narrator encountered that I actually could stand. I love this story and it really drew me in. The main character is gritty and believable. The story is basically about the subjugation of women in a post flu apocalyptic world. It is raw and unapologetic. My only complaint is that it is too short and the next book has a different female narrator. Hate it when author's do not use the same narrators in series. Hopefully I can stand the new narrator as I am definitely invested in the story.

Having two of his fingers cut off at an early age hadn't done much to make Xandrith an agreeable fellow. Besides marking him as a pariah and having him shunned by even his own family, it had also hurt. A lot. Being stripped of a few of his fingers and cast out of the Order of Mages had left him bitter and angry, but if there was any consolation to be had it was that he was doing rather well in his new line of work. While perforating people for money might not have been the most noble of callings, it was quite lucrative.

This story has all kinds of promise and was interesting enough to finish listening too despite a bad narrator. I wonder if authors vet their narrators or if they have to pay more for better ones. Terrible accents, inappropriate emotions and just overall bad cadence. I will not listen to another book with this narrator and I might take a chance on another book by Pfaff as long as McSorely is not the narrator.

I really enjoyed this book but found myself puzzled at the ending. I will not spoil it for those who might buy this. I only ask if someone else can figure out the beginning piece where someone is in a dungeon and marry it up to the ending please let me know. I wonder if the author lost the thread over this 60+ hour narration. The narrator, while not the best I have heard was certainly decent enough to carry the story and voices throughout. I have not listened to anything by this author before but I may search for more. Overall a good book, worth the price of one credit but I'd hesitate paying full price.

Rhapsody is a woman, a singer of some talent who is swept up into events of world-shattering import. On the run from an old romantic interest who won't take no for an answer, Rhapsody literally bumps into a couple of shady characters: half breeds who come to her rescue in the nick of time. Only the rescue turns into an abduction, and Rhapsody soon finds herself dragged along on an epic voyage--one that spans centuries and ranges across a wonder-filled fantasy world.

Good book,, overly dramatic reading

Having a difficult time getting through this one. Does not help that the narrator is annoying but the story so far, and I am well over half way in, does not seem to be going anywhere. Will stick it out to end but doubt I will continue with the series.

Vaelin Al Sorna, warrior of the Sixth Order, called Darkblade, called Hope Killer. The greatest warrior of his day, and witness to the greatest defeat of his nation: King Janus' vision of a Greater Unified Realm drowned in the blood of brave men fighting for a cause Vaelin alone knows was forged from a lie. Sick at heart, he comes home, determined to kill no more. Named Tower Lord of the Northern Reaches by King Janus's grateful heir, he can perhaps find peace in a colder, more remote land far from the intrigues of a troubled Realm.

Awesome. Cant wait for next!

Great follow into to Blood Song! Cliff ending alert!You will definitely become a fan if this author and narrator! :)

With this stunning series opener, Django Wexler leaps to the upper echelon of today’s best fantasy authors. The Thousand Names opens his Shadow Campaigns series with a tale of bloody rebellion that will reshape an empire -- and a world. Captain Marcus d’Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass see their fortunes rise under the command of military genius Janus bet Vhalnich. But Janus’ obsession with the supernatural portends a dire fate for the realm.

Excellent storyline and Narration

This book was amazing and left me in tense anticipation for the second installment of what I understand will be a 5 book series.
